    Dipstick tube BS

    Sick of trying to snake in the tube on the LS swap and not get a good seal. Screw it, I'm getting a few more tools to make this sh|t easier. The tube I have tab doesn't line up with a bolt on the trans to hold it firmly in place. Having one that is 2 piece will make life easier on my scared...

    4l60E flush

    My trans lines are cut and have rubber hoses on them. Would it be fine to feed IN new fluid outta one container and OUT old into another out of the other line? Do this before or after filter change? Also, thoughts on seafoam trans before hand? I've been a believer of seafoam since a few...

    4L60E deep stock aluminum pan w/drain upgrade?

    Are there models of the 4l60E pans that were stock, aluminum and with a drain plug? Looking at options. Looks like I can get a normal pan for $30-50 with a drain plug. If I can go to a junkyard and get one that's thicker w/drain plug, I'll go that route if it's reasonable.

    Good dishwasher in garage

    Any good use in my garage for a newer dishwasher in the garage? Only thing wrong is the drawers are broken. When my wife is cleaning she is abusive to everthing.....she broke them and now wants a knew one. If there's a good use for it, I've got utilities in the garage and don't want to miss...

    86 K10 LS w/burb tank conversion exhaust output

    Sick of dealing with "guiet" mufflers that don't last long. Currently the exhaust exits out 90° behind the tire.....which with with glass packs is too loud for as the driver. I've done the 'burb tank conversion on it, is it a good or bad idea to just run out the back and angle down behind and...

    K10 Steering box output shaft moving in and out

    Anyone ever seen the output shaft move in and out of the box? Normal? I've got a popping sound when turning the wheel which we've concluded to the box moving on the frame a bit. Frame has had the frame/crack repair to it. But, the output shaft moving in/out 1/8th-1/4" inch grabbed our eyes...

    4l60E ls swap k10 slips when turning

    While sitting at a light to turn left or right, if I get into it hard (under 4k rpm's) it will slip out of gear at times and just zing until I let off the gas and then go into 2nd gear. The other day, getting onto the interstate, I had to get onto it a bit more than just the standard "kick...

    Good ball joint brands

    May be replacing the ball joints on it. Currently have Moog on them that are ~7 yrs old if I had to guess. My noise may not be ball joints, just trying to plan ahead. Question is, what brands are good? I've read that Moog has fallen off in quality. Dana's are only $5 more per joint higher...

    Rotor/Hub 86 k10 GM Corp 10

    I keep seeing just the rotors available for my truck. Currently mine has a one piece rotor/hub. Is/was there an option to have them seperate? I ask because the hub/rotor is more expensive than just the rotor option. Do I need to convert it? Be nice to be able to change just the rotor...

    Bed mount winch

    Bed winch mount frame thoughts. No welding to the vehicle. Bolt to the 2 vertical square things on the front (sorry don't know what they are called), and bolt angled bars to bed bolts. Only welding is on the winch frame itself. Can be removed. The tubing is 3/8" thick. Main use would be to...

    Square engine bay wiring cleanup for LS

    Wish I had time to do this when I did mine, when I replaced it, and again this time around. Not sure if we can do a sticky for a youtube video. @HotRodPC @bucket My engine bay looks like crap cuz of old stuff I don't need. The truck won't be going back so I'm not afraid to hack. If it was...

    Dry erase board clean up

    Rubbing compound and a pad at slow speed will get those dry erase marker stains out in seconds. Honestly could probably do it by hand as well. Did a 2x4 board and I was done in less than a minute. I use it to list steps in a project as well as letting the grandkids draw on. Thought I'd share

    Brake bleeder system

    is there such a system that works for one person to bleed the brakes? Tired of paying for brake parts to be changed cuz I don't wanna get into an argument with the wife (happens every time cuz she don't listen lol). Willing to pay up to $120, but prefer the $70 I'm getting ready to pay to have...

    Garage Overhead Storage

    Ok, so I'm a semi-hoarder, and if a part/tool is on sale, I'll buy 2 lol. Anyway, I've got too much crap in the garage and really need a storage building but that ain't happening any time soon. I've always wanted to use some of the space just below the ceiling. Hell I can put ladders...

    Custom wood door trim w/pull strap

    So I need door trim for my panels off an '87 'burb. I've got the back just not the chrome that runs thru the middle. Why not cut a whole panel out of 1/4" oak/cedar/blah/etc and stain/fit/glue the panel in place then drill/mount the strap hardware? Anyone done this? Neighbor has the tools to...

    'Burb doors on K10, back window switch controls

    I'll be installing 'burb front doors on my K10. What kind of ideas can you come up with to use the rear window switches for? Otherwise, they'll be cut. I've thought of winch control and add-on light control. Thought I'd ask before I cut. Thanks In Advance

    Old dual tank location, what do do with space?

    So I did the gas tank relocation years back and have removed the tanks/brackets. Can anyone think of anything to put in the location that would be useful? It was a dual tank so I've got doors on both sides. All I can come up with so far is either a step you could pull out/fold down or storage...

    Flat black instead of chrome

    What's ya'll's thoughts on a Black gloss paint job, with all trim/chrome flat black? Maybe a red pin stripe through the side trim. Pic of truck in signature. It's a hunting truck/daily driver, so there's no way I'm spending the money on new bumpers. Again anything that isn't paint or...

    LS swap firewall intermediate block/harness

    For those that have done it, wouldn't it have been nice to have a wiring block/terminal strip with everything possibly needed for a swap? Mount that block to the firewall, then it would have wiring to go to everything possibly needed in the cab? Cruise wiring, neutral safety switch, brake...

    Vinyl bench seat color change spray paint

    Is it possible with no wear off on clothing? I've got a color picked out, but hesitant to spray it a brighter red. I drive daily, work in a hospital wearing (typically) tan docker pants. The last thing I need is to walk in looking like I shit blood lol. I did a spare set of door panels and...

    Dolphin Gauges

    Anyone tried these? Looks like you'd have to mod them, but damn the price is right. Link I found on amazon [edit]. https://www.amazon.com/Dolphin-Gauges-Chevy-Gauge-Cluster/dp/B08FCNH3Q6/ref=sr_1_86?dchild=1&keywords=multi+gauge&qid=1625456680&rnid=15684181&s=automotive&sr=1-86

    Square window relay upgrade

    Why do all these kits come with a relay per door? Is it that the input wires in the harness/ckt aren't big enough? Why not use one relay for the whole ckt? I can understand a bit if your rolling up 4 windows all at once so you might have to beef up the wiring or separate them, but really...
